variable income


Explanation:
This differs from "fixed income" in that rate of return on the investment can go up or down. It is not earned at a fixed rate.
Hope this helps.

Equity securities


Explanation:
Equities is a perfect translation but another possibility (which I prefer since equity is used in so many different contexts) is equity securities.
